Johanna Lindsey is another one of my favorite authors. Although, some of her works are not as good as others. The first book I read by Johanna Lindsey was When Passion Rules. It was a steamy book, but I would have liked the ending a bit more developed. Though the book was still interesting enough, with the murder plot and the who-did-it element, I was unhappy with the ending because it was confusing and felt a bit rushed. (For example, why did "papa" save the liar when I didn't even get a hint of them even having great feelings for one another?)
Then I started reading her Malory series and was hooked. The first bunch of the Malory series were very interesting and well written. I enjoyed the interactions between the family members since they like to "play fight" a lot. But the more books I read by this author, the more things started to feel repetitive. I would definitely suggest people to read at least the first few Malory books. Here are some tidbits I thought were amusing... of course you need to read the books for most of it to make sense.

Excerpt from Gentle Rogue (Malory #3):
"Well, it's plain to see she can't be left behind," James said irritably.
" 'Course she can't." Connie nodded.
"She'd clearly give the alarm."
" 'Course she would."
"You don't have to agree with me, you know."
" 'Course I do. My teeth, don't you know. I'm rather fond of them.''
Excerpt from Say You Love Me (Malory #5):
"You told him?"
Anthony chuckled. "'Course not, puppy," he said with obvious amusement. "If I noticed it right off, d'you really think he wouldn't? When James was decidedly more lecherous than I ever was?"
James raised a golden brow toward his brother. "I beg your pardon. Lecherous?"
Anthony's brow went up at just about the same angle. "Weren't you?"
"Well, possibly, but I prefer the way Reggie puts it, if it's all the same to you. 'Connoisseur of women' has a much nicer ring to it."
"I'll have to agree there," Anthony replied. "The little darling does have a nice way with words."
"Thought lecherous was rather apropos myself," Nicholas remarked with a smirk.
